Hypnotic Induction Techniques


Rapid Method

(Permissive II)


Instructions to hypnotist


It is important to realize that the ability to go into the hypnotic state
is the subjects ability, and not related to the hypnotist.


After accepting the fact that the ability to enter hypnosis the subjects
ability, and not the hypnotists, we see that the time spent on induction
should be related to the subjects willingness to enter hypnosis quickly.


Spoken to the subject


I would like you now, to take in three deep, easy breaths. As you exhale
each time, I would like you to relax the muscles in, and around your eyes.


By the third breath you will have relaxed the muscles in, and around the
eyes to the point that the eyes no longer want to open.


Now, take in three deep, easy breaths, and relax the eye muscles totally
as you exhale. (Allow the subject to take in three breaths, and proceed)


Good, you have now relaxed the eyes to the point that they no longer want
to open. I would like you now to relax the eyes to the point that they
will not open. Once you have relaxed them, make sure that they will not
open. (Allow a test )
